You mean... if you increase the pressure of a round just to make it shorter to fit small hands, it has a higher chance of BOOM!?

Say it ain't so!

You want a .45? Follow the gospel of St. John Moses Browning.

Otherwise, get a smaller cartridge.

I was wondering when this type of stuff would start happening with the GAP.

Never heard of any .45 GAP kB's until now (nor any PD that issued that caliber).
I'll take em all off their hands for a couple hundred bucks

+1, they tried to forty-ize it!
